As a chief information officer, triple down on the things you're excelling in instead of jumping into the new shiny toy. The role of the CIO has always been about knowing your business, in and out so that you know what is best for the company. It's all about that curiosity.

Mark has broad business experience in IT services, enterprise software, consumer products, high tech distribution, financial services, and oil & gas. He has received multiple industry awards and is a three-time CIO 100 honoree. Mark sits on the advisory boards of several Silicon Valley venture capital firms and pioneered the adoption of service management and cloud computing technologies within several large enterprises. Additionally, he has authored multiple books, including Truth from the Trenches: A Practical Guide to the Art of IT Management and Truth from the Valley: A Practical Primer on Future IT Management Trends. He also received his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from MIT and a Ph.D. from Brown University.
